The flexor digitorum longus tendon allows for curling the ends of the toes. It originates in the calf and runs down the back of the leg to connect to the underside of the toes, enabling flexion at the toe joints.
When your foot is tickled, the sensory nerves in your skin send signals to your brain that trigger a reflex response in your muscles. This reflex causes your toes to curl either up or down as a protective response to the tickling sensation.
There are stretches you can do to help prevent Achilles tendon pain. Stand on the step backwards and move your toes to the edge so your foot as the flexibility to move up and down. This will stretch out the ligaments in your feet.
Hammer toes are a foot deformity where the middle joint of the toe bends abnormally. This causes the toe to curl or buckle, resembling a hammer. It can be painful and may be caused by wearing tight shoes or muscle imbalances.
The plantar fascia is a ligament. It is a thick band of tissue that connects the heel bone to the toes and helps support the arch of the foot.
A deer has four toes on each hoof. Each toe ends in a small, hard, sharp-pointed hoof that helps the deer to walk and run on various terrains.
Why does your toes curl when the foot is tickled?because your feet and your toes are connetced to the same muscle and when the foot is tickled the toes automaticaly curl up .:)

Achilles tendon
Ligaments in the toes respond to serotonin released during coitus. Contraction is a involuntary response to this process.
The tendon at the back of the hock of a quadruped is called the Achilles tendon. It connects the calf muscles to the heel bone and is responsible for extending the foot and pointing the toes downwards.
When your foot is tickled, the sensory nerves in your skin send signals to your brain that trigger a reflex response in your muscles. This reflex causes your toes to curl either up or down as a protective response to the tickling sensation.
They have three toes forward and one back, which allows them to grip well. That tendon even has projections that mesh with groves in the tendon sheath to keep it in place, When birds perch, there is a tendon in their legs that gets pulled further, locking their toes tightly to the branch. Birds' "knees" bend backwards, so when they perch this tendon is pulled to its furthest extent over the back of the knee. This is not changed until the bird consciously "lifts his knees up" and releases the tension on this tendon. The bird can sleep on the tree because his weight pushes down on his knees and keeps that tendon tight. Convenient, otherwise a sleeping bird would make an easy meal for predators.i got this from http://www.funtrivia.com/askft/Question52293.html the person who wrote it was kaylofgorons
Tendon's which make your toes and fingers move
Exercises to strengthen the flexor digitorum longus tendon include toe curls (curling your toes downward against resistance), towel scrunches (gripping a towel with your toes), and picking up marbles with your toes. Stretching exercises like calf stretches and toe stretches can also help maintain flexibility in the tendon. It's important to consult with a physical therapist or healthcare provider to ensure proper form and technique.
The calcaneal tendon, also known as the Achilles tendon, attaches the calf muscles to the heel bone (calcaneus). Its main action is to plantarflex the foot, which means pointing the toes downward. This action is involved in walking, running, and jumping.
Your toes are curling because it is your bodies natural way of trying to point your feet farther. If it makes you feel any better my feet do it too.
There are several different things that can cause crooked toes. Some are hammertoe, badly fitting shoes, and high-arched feet where the tendon on the top of the foot pulls back on the toes. Please see the related link below for more information.
